Iron Maiden have released their latest track El Dorado for free on their official website along with artwork for new album The Final Frontier, which will be released on August 16.

Singer Bruce Dickinson says: "We'll be including El Dorado in the set of our Final Frontier World Tour so we thought it would be great to thank all our fans and get them into mood by giving them this song up front.

"We recorded the album with producer Kevin Shirley in Compass Point Studio in Nassau. It had the same vibe as it had in 1983. Nothing had changed, even down to the broken shutter in the corner. We felt very relaxed and I think it shows in the playing and atmosphere of the album."

Maiden have also released full details of the first leg of their world tour. Mainman Steve Harris says: "The fans will really like the stage production and lights.
